Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is reshaping housing delivery, offering faster build times, greater certainty, higher quality, better value for money, and a more sustainable approach to construction. In this final instalment of the Sensum Minds Housing Series, we explore how MMC is influencing the future of housing, the lessons learned from Sensum projects, and the evolving role of traditional construction in an integrated, prefabricated world.

As housing production ramps up to meet growing demand, the construction phase is more critical than ever. In Part 3 of our Housing Series, we explore the complexities of tendering and construction, focusing on risk mitigation, securing trusted contractors, enabling the supply chain and preparing for the surge of projects ahead.

As part of our Housing Series, we’re looking at the critical role of planning and design in shaping successful housing projects. As Project Managers, we focus on balancing functionality, sustainability, and tenant well-being, all while ensuring financial feasibility and timely delivery.

Australia needs an additional 1 million homes by 2046 to meet growing demand. Sensum is delving into the current state of housing in Australia, the government’s response, the industry's role, and collaborating with industry partners, peers and Government departments to tackle some of the multifaceted challenges that lie ahead.

The delivery stage of early childhood education projects is the critical phase where the design vision comes to life. While some schools are still using traditional construction, this stage presents a great opportunity to embrace modern methods of construction (MMC) to achieve efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.

Designing spaces for early childhood education is not just about creating beautiful environments. It's about ensuring safety, functionality, and seamless integration with the existing school landscape.

The foundation of a successful early childhood education project lies in meticulous site feasibility and selection.

The landscape of early childhood education is changing rapidly, and it's time we take a closer look. From government initiatives to the evolving needs of our young ones, there's a nationwide spotlight on creating better access to quality childcare.

It has been 5 years since Sensum was successful in taking out the Telstra Emerging and Energised Business Award.

Sensum shares their experience on the nuances of delivering modular projects to benefit regional and remote communities.

Sensum are collaborating with likeminded Australian organisations to drive reductions in embodied carbon in the building and construction industry.

The Australian community is in urgent need of additional social and affordable housing, with a current deficit of 650,000 homes nationally.

Early contractor involvement establishes a strong, shared foundation for success echoing Sensum’s relationship-based approach to project management. Long term, this will result in fewer construction variations, shorter delivery times and increased cost effectiveness.

As the modern construction industry strives towards more sustainable and efficient construction, our choice of building materials has become critical to ensure truly successful projects.

Last week, representatives from Sensum returned from the 2018 PrefabAus Conference in Brisbane. The well curated event included a wide range of experts from different fields. Regardless of background, a common theme emerged the construction industry needs to evolve to meet the needs of a fast-growing population and its shifting priorities.

The modular building industry is continually evolving, sometimes in unexpected ways. While the use of steel in construction may not seem like an innovative choice, recent technological advances bring a host of benefits.

Last night, Sensum was awarded the Victorian Emerging and Energised Business of the Year at the 2018 Telstra Business Awards.

We are excited to officially announce our new name, Sensum. Sensum comes from the Latin word for feel. We work with passion and dedication to deliver results for our clients and for local communities.
